Salad , Bunching or Spring Onions
Salad onions, also known as Spring, Green or Bunching onions, don’t make much of a bulb. Instead, they quickly make a white stem with green leaves at the top, and the whole plant is chopped up and used fresh in salads or cooking.
Ishikura Long White - FOR WHITE STEM
This is a very good, cold-hardy bunching onion, selected for making more white stem. It makes quite large spring onions quickly from either a spring or late summer sowing.
We like this as it gives you nice bunches of well-flavoured onions, for pulling up and using (both green and white bits) over winter.
Green leaves with a lot of white stem, bunching type which divides as it grows.

Kyoto Market - FOR GREEN LEAVES
We chose this well-known traditional variety from Japan because it has been particularly bred to make a lot of green leaves. Chop them all up and add to omlettes, soups, stew and salads.
It also splits into bunches as it grows and you can divide the clump to multiply your onion patch.
